What's up!
Hey everyone! Quick intro - I'm 24, graduated in 2024 (UGA), building a service business in my college town (Athens, GA). I met David on a mission trip in Costa Rica about a month ago.
In January, I went through a breakup with a girl that I thought I would marry (been dating for a year and a half). She had almost every quality that I've been looking for in a wife besides us being misaligned on family. That rocked my world, but also woke me up to the fact that I have been living life on autopilot for the last year.
I've been saying I want to build a personal brand, move out of my college town, run my business remotely, break 3 in the marathon, find a mentor, and get in the Word consistently. The environment you are in holds you back more than you know.
Over the last 3 days I went to Austin, Texas. I've been seeing so much content online about how active it is and I was influenced to go there lol. I couldn't tell if it was God calling me there or social media before I went.
Well, God spoke to me in amazing ways on that trip. I broke down crying in church on Sunday, overwhelmed by how confusing life felt. The sermon was on Job, and the key message was that God can take anything away from us at any moment, and we don't know if we truly have faith until he does.
My identity was heavily tied up in my relationship, and I've felt extremely lonely since ending things. The city I'm in makes me feel like I can't progress any further even though my business is here and on paper things would look like they're going great.
To sum this up, I decided to take another leap and move to ATX in three months. I won't know anyone besides my friend who is going to be rooming with me. I don't know if my business will survive, or what I will do when I get there. I obviously have a plan, but things could change in a minute.
God wants us to live by faith. The times that have changed my life or the times when God has given me an opportunity and I've jumped and tried to bite off more than I can chew.
I hope this helps anyone feeling a lack of purpose or feeling lonely. I still feel those things, but I have faith God will open up doors in a new environment. He is always working
